Over he next few weeks Zorra settled in nicely. Harry was currently curled on in bed, the little fox bouncing around the sheets, hunting for her breakfast. Harry pulled out his phone and posted a picture of her on Instagram with a smile.

He chuckled at the caption before looking over to the cage where Edward still snoozed

He chuckled at the caption before looking over to the cage where Edward still snoozed. Harry hadn't heard from Louis since he was asked to watch Edward. It had been nearly three weeks and Harry was beginning to worry. He stretched and got out of bed, sparrow standing and stretching her limbs before joining him in the kitchen.

He prepares breakfast for himself, his pink and white polka dotted bath robe wrapped tightly around him.

He's placing sparrows, Zorra's and Monty's food on the floor when he hears a knock on the front door. Harry straightens and calls sparrow to his side and she joins him quickly as he walks towards the door.

Harry returns to the kitchen and pours himself and Louis a cup of tea, his breakfast of waffles laying abandoned on the counter as he strides into the living room. Louis having beaten him there was sitting on the couch, hunched over. Harry's clothes were too big for him, he sweatpants pooled at his feet and the lavender sweaters sleeves formed sweater paws tucked into Louis clenched fists. Harry furrows his eyebrows in worry and he scoops a soft blanket off the floor on his way to Louis, draping it over the boy before handing him the tea.
